INNOVATIVE SKIN REMODELLING TREATMENT

A new discovery in facial ageing addressing skin laxity, lines and wrinkles

What is Profhilo®?

Possibly the most innovative development to the Dermal Filler market in many years, this injectable “skin bio-remodelling” treatment that stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, helping to improve skin quality and hydration. It is designed as a skin laxity treatment and shown to re-model sagging and ageing tissue to deliver tighter, smoother, more youthful, glowing skin.

What is Profhilo?

Profhilo contains high concentrations of hyaluronic acid (HA). Unlike traditional HA, Profhilo is a BDDE free medical device, stabilised by a unique thermal process to deliver an injectable hyaluronic acid that boosts skin hydration while remodelling the skin. (BDDE is the standard chemical cross linking agent in HA fillers).

   

With a concentration of 32mg/ml of hyaluronic acid, it remains in the skin for 28 days and stimulates 4 different types of collagen and elastin, Type I and III Collagen in fibroblast, and type IV and VII collagen in keratinocytes, endogenous hyaluronic acid and elastin production.

Profhilo’s novel characteristic is it’s thermal crosslinking and low inflammatory profile; this results in a hybrid complex of high and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid which bio-remodels skin. It is not a traditional dermal filler and is often appealing to patients wishing not to have traditional dermal fillers which volumize.

To achieve a uniform effect throughout the face and neck, a standardised pattern of injection points (BAP - Bio-Aesthetic Points) is employed to divide the product into five injection sites per side of the face. This is then repeated in a second treatment 1 month later. 

Treatment is usually very comfortable - topical anaesthetic can be used if preferred. Transient erythema (redness), pain, itching, and tenderness can occur. Patients that are breast feeding, pregnant or with a known hypersensitivity to hyaluronic acid should not use this treatment.

Dr Berry is highly experienced in performing this treatment.​

Further Information

  • Profhilo contains high concentrations of hyaluronic acid, which when slowly released, stimulates collagen and elastin production and increases hydration in both the dermis and epidermis.

  • Profhilo is used most commonly to treat facial skin, but it is also very effective in treating sagging, wrinkly and ageing skin on the neck, décolletage, arms, hands and knees.

  • Profhilo is an award-winning an injectable treatment, usually administered in 2 treatments sessions, 4 weeks apart. Each session consists of a series of injections to the treated area. 

  • Profhilo’s low inflammatory profile, coupled with its clinically proven pro-healing properties means it is very safe and requires minimal downtime.

  • Profhilo sits somewhere between a skin booster and a dermal filler. It delivers hyaluronic acid via a 2ml syringe to a depth 3mm into the skin. The gel like formula flows through the skin stimulating collagen and elastin to rapidly provide smoother, glowing skin.
